The National Association of Securities Market Participants (NAUFOR) requested the Central Bank and the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC) not to include their information protection and security systems in the list of critical infrastructure facilities, Vedomosti knew.
The appeal, which NAUFOR members sent to the head of the information security department of the Bank of Russia, Vadim Uvarov, and to the director of the FSTEC, Vladimir Selin, is due to the fact that the companies do not have the resources for large-scale redevelopment of scale.
In the spring, Vladimir Putin, by his decree, outlined the need to strengthen information security. Thus, by 2025, all critical information infrastructure (CII) subjects should stop using programs to protect information from “unfriendly” countries.
The Critical Information Infrastructure Security Law has been in force since 2018, regulating the subjects and objects of the IIC. The themes are divided into three degrees of significance. The government previously published a draft resolution, which detailed new parameters for the importance of CII objects, in particular, the criterion “Economic importance” appeared there. It is focused on identifying the damage to the budget, which may result in a reduction of payments to the CII subject. Therefore, the new criteria expand the number of market participants that fall into at least one of the three ICI importance categories.
In accordance with the presidential decree, organizations in the financial sector must quickly switch to Russian means of protection and introduce national programs and teams. If new criteria for the importance of CII objects are adopted, there are risks that the cost of such a transition will exceed the values of possible damages or the economic efficiency of the subjects.
In their letter, the NAUFOR participants ask to abandon the new criteria.
